Why choose the Economics course?

Recognized by MEC, FGV's Economics course stands out as one of the best in Brazil. It is based on four essential pillars for the training of economists:

  1. Solid mathematics background: provides the necessary theoretical basis for understanding economic models.
  2. Development of logical and abstract reasoning: improves analytical and critical capacity and the ability to acquire and generate new knowledge.
  3. Broad cultural and historical background: enables the understanding of economic issues within their historical and social context. 
  4. Practical experience: through experimentation, research, debates, exercises, games, labs, projects and internships, students develop the ability to make decisions and solve problems in a diverse and constantly changing environment. 

The dynamic structure of the course provides, therefore, the formation of professionals prepared to work in the best positions in private and public institutions, both nationally and internationally.
